AUSTIN, Texas — Tom DeLay took part in a scheme to illegally channel corporate money into Texas legislative races in order to strengthen his power and influence, prosecutors said Monday in opening statements at the former U.S. House majority leader’s money-laundering trial.
DeLay’s attorneys countered that no corporate money was given to Texas candidates and that the only thing the once-powerful ex-lawmaker is guilty of is being a good politician.
